Is live paella right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in New Ash Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
